Pittsburgh Pirates’ pitcher Paul Skenes has been selected by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America as the 2025 National League Cy Young Award winner. Skenes’ unanimous selection, which was announced live on MLB Network on Nov. 12, saw him collect 30 first-place votes.
Although Philadelphia Phillies’ Cristopher Sanchez and Los Angeles Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto were among the three finalists for the award recognizing the top pitcher in the league for this past season, it was a foregone conclusion for many baseball insiders that Skenes had the award won as the regular season wrapped up in September.
